Blenko Project Looking for Volunteer with Web Design Skills

Do you have computer skills, web page design skills? Free time? The Blenko Project www.blenkoproject.org is looking for assistance with updating the website, adding photos, text etc. Should you be interested in volunteering your time and talent please email theblenkoproject@aol.com . If you have information about BLENKO GLASS or former BLENKO GLASS workers which should be included in the BLENKO PROJECT's History of Blenko Glass Workers please send the photos of glass, your workers history etc totheblenkoproject@aol.com . This doesn't have to be in a formal format, send what you have and we'll help. ThanksHillary

I thought you already had a guy updating the website sometime before. I guess you can always find volunteers at the university in columbus who would be more than interested in knowing glass and working on a live project.

Needless to say I can't help because when I look at host sites like typepad, they provide a template. You just upload pictures, add some text, and monitor comments. Why does the blog have to involve design when there are templates. You already have the design pretty much set up. Someone needs to be a clearninghouse of sorts but not a designer? We don't need anything fancy like a banner. Perhaps you need to clarify just what, exactly, you are looking for.

Can anyone at Blenko donate some time to help?

On an personal note: We appreciate all of your effort Hillary! You must be busy. It doesn't sound like you are getting out as much.
